2007 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · DA07 EXT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of accelerating structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed the most recent test in February 2026 at 121,660 miles, the record shows an increase in corrosion-related defects compared to previous years. The presence of corrosion on the sub-frame, coil spring mountings, and integral body structure indicates that the chassis is actively deteriorating. Although these issues did not yet cause a failure, the progression of these faults suggests the vehicle is reaching a critical stage in its lifecycle. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 121,660 miles represents a consistent usage pattern of approximately 6,400 miles per year. This average suggests regular use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which explains the progressive wear on rubber components and metalwork. The interval between February 2024 and February 2026 shows an accumulation of 7,312 miles, a standard distance during which the vehicle underwent several significant repairs, including a major exhaust leak repair and wheel bearing replacement that led to the 2024 test failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the underbody to assess the extent of the structural rust on the inner sills and sub-frame. The tester flagged a corroded nearside rear brake pipe in 2026, which follows a previous failure for excessive pipe corrosion in 2024. Recurring reports of worn front suspension arm bushes and rear axle swivel pins indicate that the suspension geometry may be compromised or causing noise. Attention should also be paid to the exhaust system, as a minor leak persisted between the 2025 and 2026 tests, suggesting the previous repair may not have been permanent.
